nvim-ts-rainbow VS indent-blankline.nvim

for the past few days I have been working on a fork to the nvim-ts-rainbow plugin: nvim-ts-rainbow2. I am pretty much done, except for one small issue: finding out the level of a node relative to other container nodes. I know how to determine the level of a node in the tree (just keep counting up from 1 while going through the parents until I hit the root), but that is not what I need.

I noticed that it was abandoned when I was about to update my PR. The PR as it is up there is a mess, so I went through a major refactor and subsequently lost everything like an idiot.

The "look" you're looking for is given by a bunch of plugins: - OneDark.nvim as colorscheme - TS Rainbow for rainbow brackets - BarBar for bufferline - Nvim Devicons and NerdFonts to view file icons - NvimTree as a file manager - Indent Blankline to show indentation guides - CompetiTest with vertical split UI - Feline as statusline plugin. In the screenshot feline is configured with a custom theme. As you can see statusline is different for CompetiTest buffers: a different statusline can be configured for every different filetype using conditional_config.

For highlightning parentheses you could check out nvim-ts-rainbow

Consider using nvim-ts-rainbow to get rainbow parentheses.

To get changed colors for nested brackets, use nvim-ts-rainbow. I think the rest of the comments have you covered on getting colors up to snuff for you. To me it just looks like mismatched colors, not that anything is wrong

I'm happy to say I have fixed [the bug in nvim-ts-rainbow] that caused all JSX props to be highlighted](https://github.com/p00f/nvim-ts-rainbow/issues/118) in extended_mode instead of just highlighting the tag names. It was bugging me for a while when working on React components. Now, only the tag names and angle brackets in JSX elements are highlighted.

Lsp support is pretty good with Neovim, but obviously depends on what Lisp you use. I also like ts-rainbow a lot, but that's literally just visual fluff for brackets

Compared to the feature-rich plugins, this simple implementation has many drawbacks, such as not displaying indent guides on empty lines. I think its only advantage might be its extreme simplicity. Yes, I pursue minimalism so I wrote this piece of code. For a better (maybe best) and more comprehensive experience, please check indent-blankline.nvim.

Hi, I am wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to set background highlight opacity. The reason I want to do this is because I have a partially transparent background in my terminal and I would like to set highlights for indent blankline. I have tried using the `blend` option for the highlights but I think it only works for popup menus and windows?

you're better off relying on the plugin author to add per-filetype/buffer options to disable the functionality of the plugin, for example if the plugin in question is indent-blankline.nvim then you can set g:indent_blankline_enabled to false and within that function you mention, you can set b:indent_blankline_enabled to true.

i think it's indent-blankline

https://github.com/lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim complements further.

I think he meant the indent guides? In which case the best plugin is https://github.com/lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim

You are looking for the indent-blankline plugin

I use indent-blankline.nvim for them, which is also supported by my plugin.
